“The club means a lot to me and my family \u2013 my brother Keith played for the club for six years and also lifted silverware here \u2013 and we’ve supported the club my whole life. It’s like a second home for me.<\/p>\n
“It was a tough season for our men’s team last season, but I’m determined to improve results and see us perform to the levels I know we’re capable of.<\/p>\n
“The aim now is to get the club back to where it should be \u2013 fighting for championships and back up towards the top of the league, putting in good performances in front of our home crowd.”<\/p>\n
Chief executive Tony McDaid added: “Everybody at the club has been hugely impressed by Jonny since he stepped into the head coach role earlier this year.<\/p>\n
“He has a real command of the dressing room and we view Jonny as a natural fit for this role longer term. We know Jonny is a real fan favourite and we hope this news will be well received by fans as we look forward to the new season.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
